trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000)

[greenbag]

btw... I applied it to the 2016.02.14 release, but still getting the reading of the .dat file issue. All I needed for the build was the headers..

Code:

$ sudo -s
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install build-essential git make linux-headers-bcm2836 dkms

$ cd /home/xbian
$ git clone https://github.com/chenhaiq/mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916.git
$ cd mt7610u*

$ make clean
$ make
$ make install

$ nano /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto ra0
allow-hotplug ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

$ nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="YOURWIFINAME"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="YOURPASSWORD"
}


$ nano /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat

configure data for your needs


$ reboot

Maybe I chose the wrong WirelessMode then? Either that, or it's my provider.. "up to" doesn't mean that's what you actually get.

Forgot...

I even tried connecting via commandline...

Code:

iwconfig ra0 essid SHAW-5G key s:xxxxxxxxxxx

It didn't complain, but iwlist ra0 scan didn't show my 5G either.
